I have a debian testing/2.6.3/samba 3.0.2 50% of the time when i mount a share from winxp to the debian, it mounts RAW instead of NTFS. This can be found by viewing the properties of the drive. When it mounts as RAW, winxp refuses to copy long filenames. The fstype is NTFS by default and i have not changed it. Why is winxp getting confused? By the way, I have two shares which have exactly the same permissions. Sometimes both, one or neither work. <smb.conf> #======================= Global Settings ======================[global] ## Browsing/Identification ### preferred master = yes domain master = yes workgroup = barlow server string = %h server (Samba %v) log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d ####### Authentication ####### bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = eth0 lo 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 security = share encrypt passwords = true passdb backend = tdbsam guest obey pam restrictions = yes guest account = nobody invalid users = root passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . ############ Misc ############ socket options = TCP_NODELAY #======================= Share Definitions ======================[software] path = /mnt/d/software guest only = yes [software$] path = /mnt/d/software guest only = no read only = no browseable = no [music] path = /mnt/d/music guest only = yes [music$] path = /mnt/d/music guest only = no read only = no browseable = no
